This month we feature The-Best-Chefs.com . A fellow colleague of mine recently introduced me to this enriching gourmet portal. It gives you knowledge of a myriad of restaurants and chefs in Europe. Restaurants and chefs de cuisines are neatly categorized alphabetically or by countries, making searching hassle free. A click on a chef’s name brings you to his detailed portfolio, listing his nationality, apprenticeship/training background, career, philosophy, awards and interesting habits. The site also boast a “restaurant ranking” page which allows you to browse the T0p 50 restaurants in Europe. Should you like to dine at a particular restaurant, you may try searching for it under the “online-reservations” page and book a reservation. The website is still pretty new; hence there aren’t many posts on their forum page. The website is also available in German and French. These two versions have a larger community viewership, thus are better developed and have a larger forum. The site also offers the latest news in the European culinary scene.
